Minutes before rocking the Barcelona Music Conference!

It finally happened- third time’s a charm, they say. After seeing my hero play in Lisbon (Rock in Rio, 2008) and Ibiza (closing Cream, Amnesia, 2009), I was lucky enough to attend the Barcelona Music Conference in a small Club (Sotavento) with some of the great DJs, such as Eric Prydz, Armin van Buuren, Markus Schulz, Groove Armada or DJ Chuckie. Paul van Dyk, of course, was also there (headlined the 2nd night) and I got to take a quick picture with him right before his set.

I was totally star-struck and couldn’t say anything else than “You are the fucking man, thank you for all that you’ve done”, to which he just smiled. I have dreamed for this moment for several years (even went to the Vandit office in Berlin once, trying to reach him) but it’s amazing that when it happens, you are NEVER prepared.

Paul van Dyk moved on to rock the place of course and then still found some time to take pictures and sign autographs before leaving under tight security. A night I will never forget.

Thank you PvD, you are my inspiration!
